Montreal Impact midfielder Victor Wanyama has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur prevented him from returning to Celtic during the January transfer window.
The Kenyan international spent two seasons at Parkhead between 2011 and 2013, establishing himself as a regular under manager Neil Lennon.
The Hoops boss was keen on a reunion in January, claiming that Wanyama was in his thoughts as he looked to boost his squad for the second half of the season.
However, the 28-year-old remained at Tottenham beyond the end of the winter transfer window, moving to the MLS the following month.
